Private Trauma Informed Yoga to embrace you

​

Our emotions often act as a bridge between our bodies and minds, the body holding the score of the ups and downs that life delivers to our door.

​

As we endeavour to weave our way through it all, we can experience big trauma or little trauma. Both kinds can have a profound effect on us. Big trauma - events such as serious physical injury, death, or sexual violence - can cause intense trauma, even if the person never experiences physical harm.

​​​

Examples of little trauma include non-life-threatening injuries, emotional abuse, the death of a pet, bullying or harassment, and the loss of significant relationships. We each have unique capacities to handle stress and this unique level of resilience impacts on our ability to cope with trauma. What one person finds highly distressing may not evoke the same emotional response in someone else. Each of our bodies is unique as we have all experienced such different chapters in the writing of our own book of life.  In defining trauma, what is important is how the event affects us rather than what the event is.

​

Survivors of trauma, in the broadest sense, share the experience of navigating their lives in the aftermath of these events. Survivors may have a range of body-based issues, ailments and symptoms that intertwine through their entire lives, long after the trauma has occurred. The nervous system response associated with trauma can feel overwhelming, bringing a sense of feeling unsafe.

​

Trauma permeates all aspects of of our lives from the physical, psychological, mental, behavioural, social, and the spiritual. Trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness practices offer tools to help heal the whole self, helping survivors to find union between the disconnected aspects of the self.  With these tools we can slowly build the pieces into an integrated whole and begin to find a sense of safety in the body once more.

​

Research such as The Body Remembers: The Psychophysiology of Trauma and Treatment (Rothschild, 2000) recognises a need for a therapy which supports the delve into a deeper understanding of these important bodily sensations that are attached to emotions and trauma.
